Personal Profile
I am a qualified Pipework Designer, with extensive experience in Offshore, Shipbuilding & other engineering industries.
My skills lie both in attention to detail and quality. I work well in a supervisory capacity or as a team member, but I am as equally
effective when working unsupervised and on my own initiative.
I believe that these skills, along with my experience, have helped me to successfully encompass roles of increased responsibility.
On several occasions, I have successfully adapted my skills and experience to the role of Piping Engineer.
I pride myself on being well organized, able to plan my workload, and work methodically through tasks to completion. I am
honest, conscientious and diligent in my attitude to work. I have always been able to foresee and react pro-actively, to situations
that may affect pre-determined targets.
I believe my skills in communication, coupled with my knowledge & experience are an invaluable combination when applied in a
high profile role on any project.
